Micro Abstract:
The talk deals with the adaptive numerical simulation of contact problems based on residual-type a posteriori estimators. The estimators are easy to compute and provably reliable, efficient and localized. The latter properties enable a good resolution of the free boundary while avoiding over-refinement in the active set of contact. We consider continuous as well as discontinuous finite elements for the numerical simulation of static and time-dependent contact problems.
